THE POSTOFFICE.
A New system Introduced by
Postmaster Preuss.


On Tuesday last Postmaster Preuss
commenced new system Of mail dis
tribution. Out OF his limited clerical
force he selected distributors whose
duty it will be to go out on the over
land train to Barstow and then ar
range the city mail so that when the
train arrives at Los Angeles the letters
will be ready for immediate distribu-
ton. This will give the business men
eastern mail at A. NJ instead OF 10
Nm. The carriers will make an addi-
tional delivery at 1880 A. NJ. through.
out the central portion of the city. and
if the department will grant three adj
ditional carriers the mail will be dis
tributed four times daily, thus giving
Los Angeles one of the best delivery
system in the United States. 1t will
take about ten days to perfect the new
system, which will be great i'm
provement over the former system.
Papers will be distributed, if possi-
BILE, ON the trains, thus giving sub
scribers their Eastern papers twelve
hours earlier. To insure prompt and
safe delivery, and also to save the
delay complained OF by the citizens OF
this city, all mail should be addressed
to street and number, or box number
AS the Postofiice receives over 5000
letters every day, addressed only to
the CITY" or to "Los Angeles" it
can be readily seen that mistakes
must and will happen, and to avoid
this, residents should insist that their
correspondents address their letters
and papers correctly.

DR.. McGIynn's Accommodation.

The decree of accommodation
against Dr. McGlynn has at last been
pronounced, and he Is outside the
communion Of the Catholic Church.
As the decree itself shows, this is wholly
a matter of church dis. .plins. No refer
ence is made IN the deree to the econOn-
ical doctrines which DR.. McGlynn adyo
Gates. He cOutumaciously refused 10
present himself in Rome TO be heard in
his own behalf after two orders had been
made upOn him, and he has been dist
p!ined for disobedieuee. Every church
establishment, from the highest 10 the
lowest, ard ali social organic itions Lave
rules and regulations for their govern
ment. The penalty for persistent dis
obedience of these rules Is absolute
exclusion from participation in the rites,
priv .ltges and benefits of the associa-
tion- DIR. McG.ynn's coLtumacy made
his accommodation necessary fOf GIsi-
pline and as an example. The question
was whether the Church should submit
TO a contemptuous dIsoOedience of It's
orders OF whether the offending prltsy
should be punished. That was all
What might have been the result had
DR.. McGIynn presented himself at Rome
and pleaded lis own canSe need not now
be considered. He has been excOmmun-
icatsd not so much because of the doc
trines he preached as on account of his
Gisobedience TO a command issuing from
the head of his Church.
This decree of accommodation
against DR.. McG!ynn Cannot affect in
the slightest degree his personal or pO-
I litical rights as an American citizen.
and therefore cannot be made grouL d
or occasion for political controversy

In this respect he stands Oh the SAM
